Abstract

Future advanced communication systems are likely to require complex passive optical components with many input and output ports. Such components include M × N couplers, high density wavelength multiplexers, optical amplifiers etc. Traditionally, these components have been constructed using fused fibre coupler or micro-optic technology. These devices tend to be "hand made" and therefore expensive. Integrated optics technologies are more suitable for low cost mass production using fabrication technologies developed for the silicon integrated circuit industry. The most expensive part of the production of integrated optics devices is then fibre interfacing and packaging.
